*Winter 2021* Humber Bridging

[PNDtoBScNto?]

Hello

I'm contemplating on applying to bridge at Humber and I want some clarification on programs. What is the average students should maintain in the courses? Are students allowed to spread out the courses I.e. take take first semester courses second semester for the first time. Any other advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated please thanks.

I wish I was in a program like its such a low .I feel not "good enough."Who knew one bad grade in the rpn program would have such wide spread effects.You are very lucky you are almost done.Not going to lie I am lo key jealous.Le isgh not sure what to do from here with my rpn to RN journey.Feels like it ended before it even began,,:(

Hi, I just want to share my experience in hopes I can encourage you not to give up. 

I graduated from GBC Practical nursing program in 2019, I had 3.7 GPA in every semester except for one where I failed patho by 2% and the school admin didn't want to help me out even though before mid terms I wanted to drop the class and repeat on my semester off fearing I'd fail and have my bridging future ruined for me. The academic administrator encouraged me not to drop and said that they would help me. Well, they didn't and still failed unfortunately, repeated the class and got an A-. That was still not good enough for bridging as most GTA schools did not accept repeats on transcripts. I spent so much money applying to every university in Ontario to get in for two years and I wasn't successful. I felt ashamed and not good enough as you said. It discouraged me from even wanting to become an RN because I believed I didn't deserve it. 

Finally, with a friend's advice, I bit the bullet and spent $1500 on two elective courses at Ryerson to help improve my qualifying GPA. I made sure I received A+ in both classes to add to my GPA. Plus I was working as an rpn and that adds some points to your application. I applied to Ontario tech last year and I finally got in this fall after two years of tears and trying my hardest to improve my GPA.  I believe you just need to prove to them you can be successful in academic courses and those adademic level electives proved that. 

If you want it bad, you have to spend some money and improve your qualifying GPA. It's the only way unfortunately, one course ruined my chances early on but it's not impossible. I hope this helps you. 

Bst of luck, don't give up.
